California Lottery officials say time is running out for a lucky California Lottery player who purchased a multimillion dollar-winning Powerball ticket this past fall in Riverside County.
The $2,226,031 prize will expire on Monday, April 25, 2022 if it is not claimed by that date.
The winning ticket was purchased on Wednesday, October 27, 2021 in a Powerball draw.
The unknown person purchased the ticket at a Circle K located at 19470 Brown Street in the city of Perris.
According to California Lottery officials, the winning ticket matched five of the six winning numbers from that night. Those numbers were 3-26-51-35-6. It missed the only red Powerball number which was 17.
California Lottery officials say Powerball winners who match five numbers have 180 days from the date of the draw to claim their prize.
If nobody claims the winning ticket by Monday, the $2.2 million prize money will instead support public schools in California.
